The evolution of early modern financial systems: a comparative functional analysis of the Low Countries, 1500-1800
Abstract: Early modern financial history is overwhelmingly made to serve present concerns: from the origins of modern institutions, instruments, and techniques via the importance of property rights to the foundations of the liberal fiscal state. That prevents us from understanding how and why, during this period, European countries acquired different financial systems. We analyze how, following the Dutch Revolt, the Low Countries' respective financial systems diverged. By 1800 both offered a full range of services, but they did so in a totally different way.
